Sometimes students with executive function issues respond well to visual cues. Use images rather than words. Pictures and colors work great.
Executive Function Success #4: Simplify
Executive function students can benefit when you say things more than once if needed. Be sure to simplify and slow down if there are processing issues.
Cold and Flu Season
Please keep your child home from school if they have:
- A fever of 100 degrees or more in the past 24 hours
- A diagnosis of a communicable disease
- A cold in the active stages: coughing, running nose, and sneezing
- A sore throat and/or swollen neck glands
- An undiagnosed rash or skin eruption
- Vomiting or diarrhea during the past 24 hours
- Acute pain that requires relief by narcotic medication
If all families did their part, the spread of disease would be greatly reduced.
Executive Function Success #3: Directions
Executive function students can be overwhelmed with multi-step directions. Be specific with directions and in as few words as possible.
Strep Throat, Stay Home!
It is currently cold and flu season throughout the country. We would like to remind you of an example of when your child should be kept home from school. If all families did their part, the spread of disease would be greatly reduced. Colds and flu can spread so easily, so it’s important that parents take precautions to prevent others from catching it.
If your child is diagnosed with strep throat, 24 hours of antibiotic therapy is required before returning to school. Besides harming everyone else with these viruses, respiratory infections can trigger an asthma attack in certain susceptible children. We need to prevent these asthma attacks so keeping your student home from school can help. Parents need to be careful with their children. If they seem unwell, it’s probably better to keep them at home. This will keep everyone safe.
PARENTS AGREE: Y3K TUTOR IN YOUR HOME CHANGES LIVES #17
PARENTS AGREE: Y3K TUTOR IN YOUR HOME CHANGES LIVES
The Y3K Tutor In Your Home owner has worked with my high school student for the past two years, helping with executive function, study skills, organization, time management, and homework coaching. I am so grateful for his ability to act as coach, cheerleader and drill sergeant, often all at once. He enters our home with great energy no matter how late it is or how many students he may already have seen, and is instantly asking my student about last week’s test or homework assignment. He remembers the details of my student’s assignments – often better than the student does! The tutor presses gently but persistently until the results or outcomes are revealed. He has helped our student understand the importance of taking homework seriously and keeping up with it. He has contributed greatly to our student’s ability to track the volume of work and plan ahead for the coming week. This tutor is able to hold our student accountable and encourage the best effort in a way we, the parents, cannot do without a huge fight. We’re really grateful for his work and highly recommend him without reservations.

Executive Function Success #2: “To Do” Lists
Make “To Do” lists. Students with executive function can use these lists to stay on task by focusing on what they have remaining to do and what has already been completed.
Executive Function Success #1: Schedules
Maintaining schedules usually helps students with executive functioning issues. These include separate daily schedules, weekly schedules and monthly schedules.
